Anti-Slip Silicone Printing
Non-Slip Functionality: Silicone printing provides excellent anti-slip properties, making it ideal for socks intended for activities like yoga, pilates, or any scenario where grip is important.
Durability: Silicone prints are highly durable and resistant to wear and tear, maintaining their grip and design integrity over time.
Flexibility: Silicone remains flexible even after repeated washing and use, ensuring that the printed areas do not crack or peel.
Soft Touch: Silicone has a soft, rubbery texture that is comfortable against the skin.
Plastisol Ink Printing
Limited Stretch: Plastisol ink can crack and peel over time, especially if applied to areas that are frequently stretched or flexed.
Thickness: The ink creates a thicker layer on the fabric, which might not be as comfortable as silicone, especially on socks.
Heat Sensitivity: Plastisol requires curing at high temperatures, which can limit its use on heat-sensitive fabrics.
Environmental Impact: Plastisol ink contains PVC and plasticizers, which are not environmentally friendly and can pose health risks during production and disposal.
